A Celebrant Institute member was asking a question of us this week and mentioned taking payment in person. Sarah offered the correct advice that she might want to consider getting a Square card reader that you connect to your phone over Bluetooth so you can take credit card or debit card payments in person.

Which was great advice before May 2023, and I’d neglected to tell Celebrant Institute readers only because no-one asked and I do all my payments online using Stripe/Xero.
